Organising Your Distress Inks + An Unexpected Wall Art

A lot of Creative people have trouble being organised – or perhaps it only applies about my brain and Creative space!

.

Although we LOVE the idea of being organised, the truth is a lot of us are also perfectionists which strangles our attempts at order. It’s never quite right . . . . either it’s not in a matching box, or it’s in the wrong place or you saw a storage idea on Pinterest that you just have to make.

.

You know what I’m talking about!

.

So this week I decided I had to stop pfaffing about, get a few things sorted and find a home for all my bibs ‘n bobs. It’s been quite a liberating experience.

Unused coloured A4 paper and stacks of old scrapbooking papers have been bundled into two giant shopping bags ready to donate to the local primary school,

random paper clips found everywhere are now housed in one tin,

my mishmash of unfinished projects are being stored in large ziplock bags – one bag per project,

stray paint tubes are making their way back to the paint tub,

long forgotten and displaced stamps are back in their storage drawers,

and my T!m Holtz Distress Ink stamp pads are actually in one clean container and all the old blending foam pads have been discarded.
